Stories—both tragic and humorous—as seen through the eyes of Emergency Services

Memoirs of Mayhem will take you through a roller coaster of emotions as you read true stories from someone who has worked as a member of law enforcement, fire service, and emergency medical service. Curtis Parsons shares real-life stories that occurred over his 40 years of working the streets as a member of public safety. Whether it’s a five-car pileup, an airplane that crash-landed in the marsh, or a fight that started between a dog owner and an angry father and resulted in multiple attempted murder and assault charges, Parsons has witnessed tragic events that can never be forgotten. He’s also responded to a call about teenage pranksters who released two dozen chickens in a high school classroom, and he’s seen the wonderment of a new life come into the world. His memoir is a fascinating peek into the world of first responders.
